	Raw Vision
		Outsider Art has not had the benefit of the unique protection surrounding Art Brut and the definition has undoubtedly become obscured by chronic mis-use since its introduction in 1972.
		Outsider Art is virtually synonomous with Art Brut in both spirit and meaning, to that rarity of art produced by those who do not know its name.
		Although Outsider Art has been used to describe the environments, some feel the label to be insulting to these particular creators, many of whom are integrated members of their local communities.

	The Eye of the Outsider (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Indeed, the greatest outsider artist of all was British – the Victorian painter Richard Dadd, who was locked up as a criminal lunatic for killing his father, but went on to produce at least two world class Outsider Art masterpieces: The Fairy Feller’s Masterstroke (Tate Britain) and Oberon and Titania (Andrew Lloyd Webber collection).
		Moreover, the first person to actually depict Outsider Art in the making was William Hogarth, who included a lunatic drawing on a wall in his 1735 engraving of the Royal Bethlem Hospital for the Insane (the painting was part of his sequence The Rake’s Progress).
		Yet, the appalling fact is that the only place in the UK dedicated to Outsider Art is a tiny brown bungalow – perhaps known to regular FT readers [see FT137:48], but not to the general public – hidden away in the grounds of the new Royal Bethlem, in South London.

	AUDART OUTSIDER ART ART-IS-LIFE
		Art brut is known as Outsider Art in North America, and contemporary versions of the same phenomenon elsewhere are called Visionary Art, Intuitive Art, Grassroots Art, and Contemporary Folk Art.
		The similarities between earlier art forms and Outsider Art are the childlike appearance of the art-work, the signature style of the artist, and choice of subject matter-- usually themes or obsessions concerning the everyday, or sometimes inner, life of the artist.
		Outsider Art is, therefore, eccentric in the literal sense: It comes from outside of the centre, from the margins and from the edges of society, from the confined spaces of hospitals and institutions, and from the wide open spaces of the imagination in full, untutored and unfettered flight.

	Audart Gallery, Outsider Art by Audrey Regan, ArtSpeak
		Therefore, in the view of the Laussane experts, there are conceivably millions of works of art around the world that will never be included in the realm of outsider art, as it wouldn't be possible for a handful of experts to view and categorize every one of them.
		Outsider art is not determined as much by the artwork itself as by the set of circumstances that were present in the life of the artist when the art was made.
		Art dealers, by their very proximity to the as-yet undiscovered artist, have the potential to create the biggest oxymoron in art history - that of the "famous Outsider artist".

		I have come to use the phrase Outsider Art to refer to the creative work of artists who are self-taught and/or those who, for a variety of reasons, are what I consider fortunately impervious to being taught how to make art.

		In Roger Cardinal's seminal book "Outsider Art" published in 1972, he describes a "fantastic excursion into a world where hermits, madmen, dropouts, innocents and spiritual fanatics create their own widely imaginative art."
